Weston's Farewell to Screen Legend Deborah Kerr

DEBORAH Kerr, one of the last century's most iconic film stars, has died aged 86.

The actress, who set Hollywood on fire as a result of a steamy clinch with fellow screen great Burt Lancaster, began her career in Weston 70 years ago.

Deborah Kerr Trimmer was born in Helensburgh, Scotland, in 1921, the daughter of Captain Arthur Kerr Trimmer, who died in World War One.

The Kerr family moved to Weston in 1938 and she attended Northumberland House, a boarding school in Westbury Park, Bristol, before moving to Rossholme School in East Brent.
